This is actually a manga spinoff of an anime adaptation of a video game.

I think the script itself is actually pretty good (far better than the rest of the DR related manga so far). Too bad about the art.

Well, art aside, I think the focus of this manga is for people who haven't played the game or just can't. All of us know about DR1 because of the LP so this manga isn't really for us when we have seen 90% of the original product. But if, as oren said, the writing is good I think people who don't know about DR would probably find the manga really enjoyable and worth the money and not be that bothered by the art, at least I wouldn't be at least.

There's already a Dangan Ronpa 2 manga in publication. So far it's only covered up to chapter 1 though. The art is pretty wacky and it sort of focuses on Nagito's point of view and less so Hinata's. There's even an extra scene where he talks to Hanamura before the trial begins, while Hinata isn't around at all. Only one chapter is translated though.

Apparently there are several version of DR2 manga.
There is another official DR2 web manga going on at the moment,
It hasn't been translated yet, but the source can be find here if anyone is interested.

(It's still up to chapter 1 trial so there aren't any spoiler.)

In terms of art, I think this is the best one out of all the DR-related manga I've seen so far.

A warning, though - pretty much all DR2 manga out there are for people who have played the game to completion. That first chapter of the Nagito manga you mention contains spoilers for things we have yet to see.

In fact, let's not mention anything about any DR2 manga and its content in this thread. As usual with adaptations, a clueless reader might mistake an actual spoiler for an additional detail by the manga writer.

EDIT: Even the manga mentioned by the poster above me, which may seem completely free of spoilers on first sight, contains enough new info not presented in the game yet on subjects that have been particularly speculated upon here. It doesn't reveal the outcome, but it sure contains additional clues the game chose not to give.

Well, maybe Nagito will die and then half the cast will go nuts like Ishimaru and start emulating him. Each pseudo-Nagito gets their own turn at being the protagonist!

I've not read the Manga, nor do I plan to until this LP is finished, but it is very possible that the stories across the different mediums diverge.
They changed who died in the demo of the first game, I wouldn't be too surprised if they changed what happened to who, and when, for the manga adaptation. After all, there are, what, four or five incarnations of the same story? It wouldn't make much sense for them to simply repeat one another.

Unlike the first DR where you had to prove a character was not a ghost, DR2 forces you to prove that one of your classmates is not among the living.

It is, which is kind of hilariously dumb. I hope it's not an indication of the quality of the anime, because I may have to respectfully disagree with orenronen to say I don't think much of the writing in the manga either.
I'm kind of tickled people enjoyed my dumb post about chapter 2 though. While it had more bad art than chapter 1, if anyone wants to see what i wrote for chapter 1, that's here: http://superhighschoollevelmagusloid.tumblr.com/post/47189499545/ive-been-trying-to-decide-what-monthly-manga

I'm planning on maybe doing this every month, so if anyone's interested you can check the tag 'dangan-ronpa-manga' on my blog near the end of each month. Unless it -wouldn't- be considered dumb to link it here? Granted, I'm not sure what orenronen and HelloWinter's stance on this is as I heard you were planning on scanlating it, and if that's so then everyone will get to laugh at every frame and not just the ones I find funniest.

I don't think Nagito will die this chapter, but I don't think he'll make it off the island.

I don't want him to survive. In DR1, Genocider Syo was off her nut, and she survived. If another nutbar survived in the sequel it would feel a bit repetitive, even if Nagito is a different kind of nutbar. Plus, I think it would make for an interesting trial atmosphere if the victim for once was someone that pretty much everyone already hated.

Well, he has basically told everyone to please try and kill him, so the question is whether anyone takes him up on that offer, or at least tries to.
It might actually be funny if literally every murder in the game happens because someone tried to kill Komaeda and screwed up and killed someone else, though. (...I hope not, though.)
What I'm more interested in is whether Komaeda will actually kill anyone.

I'm assuming Komaeda is going to last a while though; DR1 had Monobear giving everyone 'motives', and so it looks like he could be acting as the main catalyst for murders in this game instead of that. Then again, we still haven't really seen what's up with that bomb.
